Can a mod change the thread title to, "Official GVRD Special Events Thread?"

So many things to do around the GVRD.

For example, the annual Burnaby Trunk Sale was today. 9:00 - 2:00

Every weekend there is the Farmers Market located at Burnaby City Hall. 9:00 to 2:00 as well.

Richmond and North Van Shipyards Night Market. No Surrey Night Market this year.

July 29th and August 20th, there's the Columbia Streat Food Truck Festival. Starts at 4pm, ends at 10.

MG1 06-10-2017 10:06 PM

Damn, I'm all over food trucks....... thanks, Inaii.

Ch28 06-10-2017 11:56 PM

I didn't know Burnaby had a farmer's market.

MG1 06-11-2017 05:43 AM

It's not huge by any means, but very clean and what's a good word........... civilized. Yesterday was the third week. Not a place for bargain hunters, just really good local produce and whatnot. That's probably why it was a good experience. No loud C-Lai's to be seen, or more precisely, heard. It's on one side of the Municipal parking lot, so there is parking right there. I went at around 10:15 and found parking right away. 30 minutes of browsing and you're on your way.

Inaii 06-11-2017 12:27 PM

That's the one in behind Bill Copeland right? I've always wanted to check it out, but I work saturdays and I don't think my boss would appreciate me stopping by with the lordco truck to see what's there :lol

And np about the food truck thing! I only know about it because one of my friends is going and I saw it pop up on facebook. I'm glad they made it start at 4, because we use Columbia quite often when we deliver parts down there, so it would have been a huge hassle for us. I'm probably gonna go after work and check it out, though I'm not sure where there would be parking.

i find the local farmers markets produce and eggs to be pretty meh to garbage. And i've bought quite a bit from them both Nat Bailey and the winter PNE one

MG1 07-29-2017 08:58 PM

Just got back from the Food Truck event............ had a good time. Will be back next year, for sure. Food was meh, but just seeing close to 100 food trucks was neat.

Next - going to food truck city, Portland, on my way to see the total eclipse on the 21st of August.

You are not looking very hard.
Go to the Sole Foods stall. Their sungold tomatoes, and greens mix I'd literally say are some of the best in the world. The tomatoes are fucking astonishing.

MG1 07-29-2017 09:46 PM

Two weeks ago, I went to the Trout Lake Farmer's Market. I was expecting to find crappy, overpriced produce. I was pleasantly surprised. More expensive, but totally worth the price. I don't think I can buy the crap from Superstore anymore, lol. And, actually buying from and speaking with the people who actually grow the produce. Some of them are so proud of their produce. Organic and picked that morning. Can't beat that.

westopher 07-29-2017 10:11 PM

I've been spending much more on my vegetables, and buying smaller, cheaper cuts of the best local beef, chicken or pork. Its definitely helping my overall feeling. Cost is about the same or a bit more when you account for the proteins. If there is one thing that you should spend money on, its what determines how your body actually functions.

Car Free Day on Main Street. One of the highlights of the summer. At least, one of my favourite events. Sunday from noon till 7:00. 21 blocks of awesomeness.

https://www.carfreevancouver.org/main-street


There's also one in the West End on Denman, from Davie to Robson, but not my cup of tea. It happens today from noon till 7:00 pm.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:18 PM.
